A less-than one percent variation is obviously enough to change 4.5 billion years to 6,000 years. Can't you do basic math?

In all seriousness, it can call into question the outer end of radiometric calculations. But probably in the neighborhood of making the error margin plus or minus a hundred million years more than it already is.

The “less-than-one percent” variation was not repeatable in the controlled experiment, per the article, however.
